What have we done?

Do you remember when you were a little kid and you made a big mistake and got in real trouble? You just wanted to wake up from the nightmare but you can't because this is real life. That is how I feel now that Obama is president.

How can we ever reverse the mess this country is in?

President Obama signed five executive orders in the first three days of his presidency. That alone is scary considering no other president in modern history has come close to that. Let's see what was done.

EXECUTIVE ORDER -- REVIEW AND DISPOSITION OF INDIVIDUALS DETAINED AT THE GUANTÁNAMO BAY NAVAL BASE AND CLOSURE OF DETENTION FACILITIES

Sec. 2. Findings.

(c) The individuals currently detained at Guantánamo have the constitutional privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. Most of those individuals have filed petitions for a writ of habeas corpus in Federal court challenging the lawfulness of their detention.

Really?

These terrorist have constitutional privilege?

They are unlawful enemy combatants found on the battlefield and are not Americans which have NO right to our constitution. They are not part of a national state run army and therefore not covered by Geneva Convention either.

Maybe B.O. needs to look at what FDR did to those Germans that tried to land on Long Island during WW2.

What do we do with these animals? Maybe send them to Alcatraz so Nancy Pelosi can watch them...



 Closing Gitmo isn't enough.

EXECUTIVE ORDER -- ENSURING LAWFUL INTERROGATIONS

So , now we are restricted to the methods used to interrogate the same people that have killed Americans already or would like to.

One should be aware that actions similar to water boarding occur everyday in our military training units.  The Navy Seals typically use large amounts of water targeted at a candidates face, causing him/her to have similar if not equal effects that water boarding produces.

If our military soldiers are routinely exposed to similar stimuli, how can water boarding be considered torture?



Well , George Bush made mistakes as president but he did keep us safe from Islamo-fascist since 9/11/01. I believe part of that is due to the info we obtained from the Gitmo detainees.

Maybe, President Obama can just charm Ahmenidijad, Nasrallah, Osama, and all that feel good nice talk and understanding will just make it all go away.

...Not likely
